What is it about a baby's smile that can make you forget about everything else in the world for just a moment? There's something almost impossible to explain about the simple happiness of a baby. A little smile, a laugh that comes out of nowhere, those wide eyes when...

Are we making childhood so comfortable that we're accidentally making adulthood harder? There's something worth thinking about when you look at kids today. A lot of children have more comfort, entertainment, convenience, and protection than previous generations ever had, yet most still seem to have less experience dealing with discomfort, boredom, failure, physical effort, and the ordinary frustrations of life. Part of the problem might be that we've gotten really good at removing obstacles. Kids can spend hours sitting in front of screens instead of running around outside. Parents can solve problems for them before they ever have a chance to figure them out. We're constantly entertaining them, protecting them from disappointment, and sometimes treating every uncomfortable feeling like something that needs to be immediately fixed. None of this means children shouldn't be protected or cared for. They absolutely should. But there's a difference between protecting a child from genuine danger and protecting them from every difficult experience. Kids need opportunities to be physically active. They need chores and responsibilities. They need to experience losing a game, making a mistake, hearing the word no, waiting for something they want, and figuring out how to solve problems without an adult stepping in every time. They need to learn that being uncomfortable isn't necessarily the same thing as being unsafe. They also need parents who teach emotional strength without teaching emotional suppression. It's perfectly okay for a child to be sad, frustrated, scared, or disappointed. The lesson should be that those feelings can be handled. You can acknowledge the emotion while still expecting the child to move forward with self control. And maybe one of the biggest things parents can do is lead by example. Children watch what adults do even more than they listen to what adults say. If they see parents avoiding every challenge, complaining about every inconvenience, and giving up when things get difficult, they're going to notice. The goal isn't to make childhood miserable. It's to give kids enough love and security that they feel confident stepping outside their comfort zone. Are we preparing our children to expect the world to accommodate them, or are we preparing them to be strong enough to handle the world as it is?

I think this little boy has already discovered one of life’s greatest mysteries: babies are absolutely hilarious… even when they do absolutely nothing. 😂❤️ There is something wonderfully funny about watching children interact because they have absolutely no interest in following the social rules adults spend years learning. An adult sees a baby and usually asks, “How old is he?” “Is he sleeping well?” “Does he eat properly?” “Who does he look like?” This little boy seems to have a much simpler approach: “Look at this tiny human. I love him. He is extremely entertaining.” And honestly, I respect the logic. The baby isn't telling jokes. He isn't doing magic tricks. He isn't performing some impressive dance. He is basically just lying there, staring around, peacefully existing. And somehow, that is enough. The boy looks at him and starts laughing as if the baby has just delivered the funniest comedy routine of the year. This is one of the things I love most about children. Their sense of humor doesn't need an explanation. They can find something fascinating that adults would completely overlook. A funny face. A strange little sound. A pair of tiny feet. Someone blinking at the wrong moment. Or apparently… a baby simply lying there. And the funniest part is that the baby seems completely unaware that he has become the star of the show. He isn't trying to impress anyone. He isn't even trying to be funny. He has apparently been hired for the role of “adorable baby” and has decided to take his responsibilities very seriously by doing absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, his older companion is having the time of his life. This is what makes childhood so special. Children haven't yet developed that complicated filter that tells them what is supposed to be interesting and what isn't. They don't need an expensive toy, a spectacular view, or some carefully planned activity. Give them another child and five minutes, and somehow they will invent their own entertainment. Adults spend money looking for happiness. Children can apparently find it lying on a blanket. And there is something refreshing about that. We grow up and become experts at overthinking everything. We worry about appearances, expectations, productivity, and whether we're having a “meaningful” experience. Children don't seem to care. They see something they like, and they react. They laugh because they're happy. They get excited because something catches their attention. They stare because they're curious. And when they have absolutely no idea what is happening, they simply keep watching. Maybe that's why moments like this feel so refreshing. There is no performance, no hidden agenda, and no attempt to make the moment look deeper than it is. It's just one little boy having a surprisingly serious conversation with a baby who hasn't learned how to talk yet. And somehow, the conversation seems to be going very well. I don't know what the baby was thinking. Maybe he was thinking about milk. Maybe he was thinking about sleep. Maybe he was thinking, “Why is this guy laughing at me?” But the boy clearly wasn't asking for an explanation. He was having fun. And perhaps that's one of the sweetest things about childhood: You don't need a reason to laugh when everything around you is still new. Adults could probably use a little more of that. 😂❤️

What does it feel like to realize that, in your little boy’s eyes, you are one of the most important people in the entire world? There's something special about having a young son who looks up to you as a dad. At that age, Dad can seem almost larger than life. He is the guy who can fix things, reach the high shelf, carry the heavy stuff, answer the impossible questions, and somehow make an ordinary afternoon feel like an adventure. And half the time, he probably has no idea just how closely his son is watching him. A little boy does not need his dad to be perfect. He just wants to be around him. He wants to follow him around the house, help with whatever he is doing, wear his old hat, imitate the way he talks, and eventually say, “Dad, can I come with you?” The little moments can seem insignificant when they happen, are sometimes the moments that fathers remember years later. There is also something humbling about knowing that your son is learning what it means to be a man partly by watching you. How you treat your wife, how you handle frustration, how you keep your word, how you treat strangers, how you respond when things go wrong. He may not understand all of it yet, but he is taking it in. And maybe that is one of the greatest joys of being a father. You get to watch a little boy who thinks you can do anything slowly grow into a young man who understands that you are human after all, while still carrying some of the lessons and memories you gave him along the way. One day, he may not need you to carry him anymore, but he will always remember the years when being carried by Dad made him feel like everything was going to be alright. So if your little boy looks up to you today, have you ever thought about just how much that simple admiration might mean to him?

What kind of adults are we preparing our children to become? Strong kids don't become strong overnight. It starts with the little things they learn when they're young. Teaching them to keep their word, finish what they start, clean up after themselves, help around the house, and take responsibility for their choices gives them a foundation they can carry for the rest of their lives. A good work ethic is built the same way. Kids need to learn that not everything worth having comes easily. Sometimes you have to work when you don't feel like it. Sometimes you fail and have to try again. Sometimes nobody is going to do the job for you. That doesn't mean children shouldn't have fun or enjoy being kids. They absolutely should. But love isn't the same thing as making life easy for them. One of the best things a parent can do is give a child enough responsibility to discover that they're capable of handling it. When kids learn discipline, responsibility, and perseverance early, they gain something much more valuable than an easy childhood. They gain confidence in their ability to face life. Are we raising children who expect everything to be done for them, or children who will be ready to take responsibility for their own lives?

It Is Possible to Find Love in an Unfamiliar Place Sometimes, life takes us to places we never expected to call home. We arrive as strangers, carrying our own stories, hopes, fears, and memories. Everything feels unfamiliar the streets, the faces, the conversations, and even the way people live. Yet, somewhere in that unfamiliarity, we may discover something surprisingly familiar: love. Love does not always wait for us in the places we know. Sometimes, it finds us when we are far from everything comfortable and familiar. A new school, a new city, a workplace, a trip, or even a simple unexpected encounter can introduce us to someone who changes the way we see life. What begins as a casual conversation can slowly become friendship, trust, and a meaningful connection. Finding love in an unfamiliar place can be beautiful because there are no expectations attached to it. Two people may meet without knowing anything about each other’s past. They have the opportunity to discover one another naturally—not through reputation or assumptions, but through conversations, kindness, understanding, and shared experiences. Of course, unfamiliar places can also make love challenging. Distance, different backgrounds, family expectations, or uncertainty about the future can create obstacles. But genuine connection is not necessarily defined by how easy it is. It is often defined by the willingness of two people to understand each other, communicate honestly, and respect what they are building together. Sometimes, the person we meet in a place we never planned to stay becomes the reason that place feels special. A stranger can become a familiar face, a familiar face can become a friend, and a friend can become someone whose presence brings comfort and happiness. Ultimately, love does not require a familiar setting. It requires openness, honesty, patience, and two people willing to see beyond their differences. The world is full of unexpected meetings, and some of them may lead to connections we never imagined. So, yes, it is possible to find love in an unfamiliar place. Sometimes, the most unexpected place can become the beginning of a beautiful chapter, and the stranger you never expected to meet can become someone you will never forget.

✨💗Before the World Teaches Them Otherwise There is something about the way children respond to another person in need. They don't pause to think about whether they should get involved. They don't wonder if someone else should do it. They don't stop to consider how their kindness might look to the people around them. They simply notice. And when they see that someone needs a little help, their first instinct is often to do something about it. That instinct is easy to overlook because, to a child, it feels completely normal. There is no great decision behind it. No calculation. No expectation of being thanked. Just a small act of kindness, offered because someone needed it. And perhaps that is what makes childhood so beautiful. Before the world teaches us otherwise, children trust. Before we learn to measure every relationship, children give freely. Before we become afraid of looking foolish, children simply do what feels right. An adult might walk past because they are busy. Another might notice but hesitate, wondering whether it is their responsibility. A child may not think that far. They just see a person. And perhaps that is one of the quiet lessons children give us without even knowing it: Kindness does not always need an explanation. As we grow older, life teaches us many useful things — how to protect ourselves, how to be careful, how to think before we act. But in learning all of that, we should be careful not to lose the simplest part of ourselves. The part that still notices. The part that still cares. The part that can see someone struggling and think, “Let me help.” Children are not innocent because they know nothing about the world. They are innocent because, before the world teaches them otherwise, they still believe there is nothing strange about being good to one another.

They have no home to return to, no warm bed to sleep in, and no voice to tell us how much they are suffering. 💔🐾 When the rains come, they search for a little dry corner. When they are hungry, they quietly wait for someone kind enough to notice them. They suffer every day, yet they continue to trust humans. Please, always be kind. Always be compassionate. ❤️ Whenever you get a chance, give them something to eat. Keep a bowl of clean water. Offer them a dry, safe place to rest. Stop for a moment and show them some love. You may think it is a small gesture, but for them, it could mean survival, comfort, and hope. They don't ask for much just a little food, a little shelter, and a little kindness. Please don't look away from their suffering. If you can help, help. If you can feed, feed. If you can protect, protect. Because every helpless soul deserves to feel that the world has not forgotten them. ❤️🙏 #dogs

A narcissist can fake quite a lot. They can fake empathy. They can imitate affection. They can even put on such a convincing performance of being supportive that, at first glance, you’d swear they meant it. What they struggle to conceal is how they react when something goes well for someone else. Pay attention the next time you have a genuine win. Not the grand victories. The promotion. The successful project. The new relationship. The small moments are often more revealing. The achievement you’re proud of. The piece of good news you’d naturally expect another person to be pleased about. Watch closely. The slight eye roll. The forced smile. The curious inability to simply say, “Well done.” Or the immediate qualification. “That’s nice, but…” An impressive phrase, really. Two words capable of draining the joy from almost any accomplishment. Then there’s the remarkable talent for making your success about them. You share something you’ve achieved and, within moments, you’re listening to a story about something they did years ago that was apparently bigger, harder, better, or more important. Your moment lasts roughly thirty seconds before being requisitioned for their use. My personal favourite is the forensic examination of your achievement. You receive praise; they begin a search for defects. Not because the flaws matter, but because your confidence does. And then, of course, there’s silence. No congratulations. No enthusiasm. No acknowledgment. Just a noticeable drop in temperature, as though your success has somehow inconvenienced them. The lesson is simple. People who are genuinely comfortable in themselves do not find your success threatening. They are capable of applauding without competing, congratulating without comparing, and celebrating without keeping score. Those who cannot manage that are telling you something useful about themselves. Believe them… BELIEVE THEM!!! A narcissist often views another person’s success as a reduction in their own importance. It’s an odd way to move through life, but it does have one advantage for the rest of us: It makes them surprisingly easy to spot.😉💙🎩

Last week, I marked my birthday in a simple way—but it left me with a powerful reminder. I may not have abundance, but I have enough to make a difference in someone’s life. Giving isn’t about how much we have; it’s about the heart behind what we share. Sometimes it’s a meal, a kind word, a small gift, or even just showing up for someone who feels forgotten. Those “little” things can mean everything to someone in need. This past week opened my eyes again: generosity is not reserved for the wealthy. It belongs to anyone willing to care. As I step into this new year of my life, I’m choosing to be more intentional—giving what I can, when I can, and trusting that even the smallest act of kindness carries great value. If each of us does a little, together we can create something truly meaningful. Let’s keep giving, no matter how small. 💛

HANDLE THE BALL AGAINST PRESSURE This clip is a masterclass in handling the ball against pressure. Most players think that the more moves they make, the better BallHandler they are. In reality, a players ability to Start-Go-Stop is what makes them productive. Do you have a starting move that can get you downhill. On that ‘go’ can you be in control under pressure. Then, do you have the ability to stop to create separation, and be comfortable in a face up so that you can make a decision and play.

Hills I will die on as an elementary school teacher, who just wrapped up my 32nd year teaching! 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to teach, this profession is not for you. 2. Our students are not “ours”. They are their families, and we need to understand the magnitude of the calling, and responsibility we have to meet them where they are, and to help them to get to a place that they never thought possible. 3. As important as the curriculum is (and it IS important), the children in our classroom are what matter most. It’s our JOB to teach the curriculum to SERVE our students, NOT to use our students to push any sort of agenda. 4. Just as we teach our students to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our students better than they were when they first entered into our classroom. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every child. 5. We should not teach our children WHAT to think, but HOW to think, and how to use that knowledge to bless and serve not only themselves, but the world around them. 6. Our words carry little (or NO value), if we do not practice what we preach. 7. If we don’t make learning fun, children will view learning as a chore, and we we will be creating a generation of children who grow up to be young adults who don’t see the joy in learning new things. 8. The child that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Never tell a child they “can’t” do something. God has blessed each of them with far more strengths and talents than we may know, and it’s not our job to tell them what they can’t do, but to help them to realize all the things they CAN do. 10. The legacy you leave as a teacher will never be determined by your student’s test scores, but by the human beings you helped them become throughout their lives.

Hills I will die on as an elementary school teacher, who just wrapped up my 32nd year teaching! 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to teach, this profession is not for you. 2. Our students are not “ours”. They are their families, and we need to understand the magnitude of the calling, and responsibility we have to meet them where they are, and to help them to get to a place that they never thought possible. 3. As important as the curriculum is (and it IS important), the children in our classroom are what matter most. It’s our JOB to teach the curriculum to SERVE our students, NOT to use our students to push any sort of agenda. 4. Just as we teach our students to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our students better than they were when they first entered into our classroom. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every child. 5. We should not teach our children WHAT to think, but HOW to think, and how to use that knowledge to bless and serve not only themselves, but the world around them. 6.

Some people see a man being very cruel to a young boy here. That's not what I see. Achilles just taught this young boy something important. Something most people never learn. They never have anyone to tell them. ACHILLES TOLD HIM. Sure, it hurts to hear the truth, many times. The only people who make their mark in this world, who do great things...are those who can overcome their fear. The boy is being honest. He's seen the warrior that Achilles is about to fight. He tells the truth. "I wouldnt' want to fight him." It seems cold and distant, what Achilles says to him in response: "That is why no one will remember your name." You can be safe. Or you can be great. We don't live in a world where you can be both. Do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be great? Do you want the glory? Well, you'll never achieve it in the safe zone, staying away from the danger. Life isn't about how much comfort you can enjoy. Life about doing things that matter. And that means... You have to WANT to fight the Thessalonian.

Have you ever looked at your paycheck, looked at your bills, and wondered where all the money went? There's something a lot of people don't talk about enough when it comes to being a man in today's world. For many men, there's still a strong desire to be able to provide, build a stable household, take care of the people they love, and have something left over at the end of the month. The problem is that doing that can feel harder and harder when the basic cost of living keeps eating up more of every paycheck. Rent or a mortgage, groceries, insurance, utilities, gas, car payments, repairs, medical expenses, and everything else can add up incredibly quickly. Even a man who works hard and tries to be responsible can sometimes feel like he is running just to stay in the same place. Then there are the unexpected expenses that always seem to show up at what feels like the worst possible time. That creates a lot of pressure. A man may feel like he is supposed to have everything figured out, even when he's dealing with the same rising costs and financial uncertainty as everyone else. He might not want to complain about it because he feels like he is supposed to simply handle it. But struggling financially does not automatically mean someone is lazy, irresponsible, or not trying hard enough. At the same time, there is something admirable about a man who keeps working toward a better situation instead of giving up. Maybe that means learning a new skill, taking on extra work, starting a business, cutting unnecessary expenses, or simply being patient while trying to get ahead. It may take longer than expected, and sometimes progress can be painfully slow. It's also important to remember that a man's worth should not be measured by the size of his paycheck. Providing for family is important of course, but being a good husband, father, friend, neighbor, and member of a community matters too. In a world where so many people are quietly struggling to keep up, maybe we should ask ourselves whether we are expecting ordinary working people to accomplish the extraordinary just to afford an ordinary life.

Narcissists ruin good and happy moments because deep down, they can't tolerate joy that isn't about them. When you're laughing, connecting, or simply feeling at peace, it reminds them of what they can't feel - and that triggers their deep sense of inadequacy. So instead of joining the joy, they hijack it. They might pick a fight out of nowhere, make a cruel comment, go cold and distant, or suddenly make everything about them. Why? Because your happiness makes them feel invisible, irrelevant, or out of control. But here's the truth: Your light is not the problem. It's their need to dominate every emotional space, and their inability to feel joy unless it feeds their ego. You deserve moments of peace and happiness that aren't disrupted by someone else's chaos. Remember… it's not you.

What if some of the most important lessons you teach your kids happen at the dinner table? Healthy eating habits are much easier to build when children are young. That doesn't mean putting them on some strict diet or making every meal a battle. It means helping them understand that what they eat affects how they feel, how much energy they have, and how well their bodies function. Kids should learn to enjoy real, nutritious foods while also understanding that treats are treats. Learning to read labels, pay attention to portions, drink more water, and recognize how different foods make them feel can give them tools they'll use long after they leave home. Parents also have a huge influence simply by setting the example. Children notice what we eat, how often we eat it, and the way we talk about food. If healthy choices are a normal part of family life, they're much more likely to become normal choices for the child too. The goal isn't perfection. It's teaching awareness and giving kids the knowledge to eventually make good decisions for themselves. What kind of relationship with food are you helping your children build today?

Is your toddler suddenly throwing (or dropping) everything they get their hands on? Food, toys… you name it. You’re not alone. This week I’ve been introducing play schemas, 9 common patterns that can help to demystify your toddler’s seemingly random behaviors. And you guessed it: this is one. We call it the trajectory schema. If you take nothing else away from this post, let it be this: your little one doesn’t throw things because they are misbehaving or “bad.” Babies throw things because they are babies. And they are learning as they do so. Learning about cause and effect. Learning about gravity. Learning what (and practicing something new) they can do with their bodies. Learning hand-eye coordination. It’s a completely normal part of development. And the fascination won’t last forever. The real question is, how do you manage it? First, be proactive. Expect that anything your little one handles might reasonably be thrown or dropped. So choose wisely, avoiding items that are valuable or might pose a danger to them or others if they suddenly took flight. Second, depending on the age of your child, begin introducing some natural consequences. Put the toy/object away temporarily after it is thrown (if throwing it is dangerous or inappropriate). And involve your child in the subsequent clean-up. You can also redirect. Explain which things are and are not for throwing. Model the correct use of these objects. Finally, lean into it. Recognizing that young children are drawn to throwing, provide items that are safe and acceptable to throw. Soft toys. Socks. Balls. And look for opportunities and settings for your little one to explore this urge safely and appropriately. How did you manage your toddler’s throwing phase? Welcome your tips and tricks! This sweet little throwing machine was posted to TT by kristinnicole122.

"Why are young women using walking sticks?" One of the newer trends among Leftists is to use walking sticks or wheelchairs. I've seen this going on for a long time, but didn't think much of it until this article came out several days ago and Leftists had meltdowns over it. The people doing it tend to be fully capable of walking and functioning perfectly fine when they're in the mood to do it. They almost always identify as some form of LGBT, tend to be female, are often overweight, usually don't work, and are often self diagnosed with things like ADHD, chronic pain, fatigue, migraines..., which they claim cause their disabilities. There are countless people with actual disabilities who are often in severe pain, truly have issues with walking, are missing limbs, mostly paralyzed, have difficulty speaking, are deaf or blind, have different diseases that they fight against every day..., yet they try their best to function like most people, work, get degrees, have families, socialize.... People with true disabilities tend to treat them like abilities. They have something that may be seen as a a disability, but instead treat it as a slight disadvantage that pushes them try doing just as good, if not better than everyone else. They don't make it their whole identity. These "disabled" Leftists on the other hand make it their whole identity. Their bios and posts are full of them trying to push how "disabled" they are. The real disability of theirs is laziness and feeling the need to victimize themselves in order to get attention that they don't get otherwise and probably didn't get enough of when they were younger. There is now "disability pride month" to push how much of a victim their self diagnosis made them because they need a month to remind you of it every day instead of every other day. I'm all for having a month, week, or day to celebrate truly disabled people who overcome their disabilities every day, but most of what I've seen is these scumbags taking over such things. These same people would have a meltdown over "cultural appropriation," yet here they are pretending to be disabled. It's a disgrace.

Hills I will die on as someone who has coached high school football for over 29 years: 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to coach, this profession is not for you. 2. As much as we need to know our trade, getting to know (and to love), our players is far more important. 3. This is an INTENSE game, and it’ll never be “just a game”, but it IS a game. Remember that when you’re with your team, and more importantly, remember that when you’re with your family. 4. Just as we teach our athletes to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our athletes better than they were when they first entered into our program. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every individual. 5. Life is complicated enough, let’s not complicate the game in such a way that we take the joy of it away from others. In other words… Keep it simple. 6. Our words carry little (or NO), value, if we don’t practice what we preach. WE as coaches should be learning and growing each and every day, just as we expect our athletes to. 7. As much as we all want to win those championship rings for our athletes, make sure you don’t lose your wedding ring in the process. 8. The athlete that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Be where your feet are. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing logos and thinking that a higher division, a bigger school, or going from HS to college, or even college to the pros, is going to be more rewarding or fulfilling. 10. The legacy you leave as a coach will never be determined by your wins and losses, but by the lives you were able to change for the better!
